Lewis Capaldi and Tiësto headline major UAE music nights in January 2026

January 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting month for live music fans in the UAE, with two global music heavyweights set to perform in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi will take to the stage at Saadiyat Nights on January 17, 2026, delivering an emotional live performance packed with chart-topping hits and fan favorites. The concert has generated massive demand, with tickets reportedly sold out, underlining Capaldi’s strong fan following in the region. Known for his heartfelt lyrics, raw vocals, and candid stage presence, the Saadiyat Island show is expected to be one of the most memorable live music moments of the winter season in Abu Dhabi.

Just days later, electronic dance music fans will be treated to an entirely different vibe as Tiësto performs live at Be Beach, Dubai, on January 22, 2026. The legendary Dutch DJ and producer, known for defining generations of EDM with global anthems and festival-shaking sets, will bring high-energy beats to one of Dubai’s most popular beachfront venues. The event is expected to attract a large international crowd and ranks among the most anticipated EDM nights of the month.

Together, these two concerts highlight the UAE’s diverse and thriving live entertainment scene, offering something for every music lover, from emotional pop ballads under the stars in Abu Dhabi to pulse-pounding electronic music by the beach in Dubai.

With sold-out shows and global headliners, January 2026 continues to reinforce the UAE’s status as a premier destination for world-class live music experiences.
